As a woman who pays attention to the patterns of the universe, Priyanka Chopra Jonas can smile about the neat loop in her own life. She’s one of the few actresses to have made the leap from Bollywood to Hollywood, but now she’s circled back to the start when she was crowned Miss World at the age of 18.
Then, it was the start of the new century and a wide-eyed Priyanka found herself whisked from India to London to parade at the just-opened Millennium Dome. Now, two decades later, she’s back living and filming in the capital for a year. It’s an exciting time for her career but the ongoing restrictions of Covid mean she’s spent far more time away from her husband than usual. Priyanka, of course, is blissfully spliced to fellow superstar Nick Jonas and tells us she misses the singer madly when they’re oceans apart.
While Nick, 28, remains at their home in the States, Priyanka, who turns 39 this week, is billeted in a plush part of West London with her beloved dogs. She’s also being kept busy as the new face of Max Factor, fronting its 33-shade Facefinity All Day Flawless Foundation. It’s a job her teenage self would never have foreseen when she was trying to lighten her skin, or when racist bullying at school sent her fleeing back to India from the US, where she had been living with relatives.
Today, Priyanka is not a woman who runs away from anything. Having faced her demons head-on, she’s happy in herself and tells us she can’t wait to find out where the universe will take her next…
Hi, Priyanka! How are you enjoying being back where it all began?
